However, she was soon back online to plug her new clothing line with InTheStyle and her new “six-figure” deal to be the face of Wizz Air.

And now today, the reality TV star admitted that it’s “overwhelming” at the moment as she moves on with her life post-Arg and her followers get used to easing lockdown restrictions.

Earlier this week, Gemma announced that she was taking a break from Instagram “to heal” after her explosive split from Arg.

The TV star usually shares videos of her life dozens of times a week on the platform but hadn’t put anything up since sharing – then deleting – the messages her ex sent her.

Taking to her Instagram Story on Tuesday, Gemma explained that she was taking a time out from social media following their break-up.

Although she returned two days later to promote her new ventures.

The reality TV star blasted Gemma when she refused to pay for holiday flights – telling pals he’d spent his money on takeaways and surgery.

The on-off lovers fell out after the 32-year-old had his ears pinned back last month following a stint in rehab for cocaine addiction.

He kept the op a secret and went into hiding at his home in Essex while his ears healed.

But pals said when he asked for handouts it led to a series of explosive rows and Gemma finally dumped him after he asked for an open relationship.

Private messages between the pair were posted on Gemma’s Instagram page, which have since been deleted, that saw Arg branding her a “hippo” and a “fat f**k”.

Sharing earlier screengrabs of their heated conversation, Arg had sent her a plane emoji in reply to a picture of flight details.

Gemma then shared a screenshot of cruel pig emojis she’d been sent, although it was unclear if these were also from Arg.

Their angry confrontation has been revealed following The Sun Online’s exclusive story about Gemma dumping her Arg after he told her he wanted an open relationship.

Sources close to the pair said Arg was inspired by claims US actor Will Smith’s wife Jada Pinkett Smith had been intimate with other people during their marriage.

Earlier this year, Arg bravely revealed he is a cocaine addict — and suffered two near-fatal overdoses at home before finally seeking help from his best friend Mark Wright at Christmas.

But despite helping him get clean, Gemma was left devastated when the ex-Towie star spoke to his girlfriend after returning from Spain, telling her that he wants to move there.

Speaking to The Sun Online, a source explained: “Arg went to Spain and he told Gemma that he wants to go back there forever and be in an open relationship like Jada and Will.

“Gemma is completely shocked and has been left absolutely heartbroken, especially after sticking by him for so long.”
